"I was looking for more of a "family" type atmosphere in a job where people care about each other and the people they care for no what their job title is. I found this at Skaalen. I am thankful for this every day!"

Jeannette G.

"I love Skaalen and the people here, the residents are lucky to have the staff. I have not worked at a facility that is always thinking of the residents and what is best for them, and then it actually happens. I am lucky to be a part of it!"

Les M.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the benefits of Assisted Living?

A: Safety -
For some, the greatest benefit is safety. There will be people around to help them walk, be another set of eyes, or help them up from a chair. If they have an accident, a health emergency or a fall, they will not be alone for long.

Friends -
Assisted living provides a constant source of friendship.

Nutrition -
Special dietary considerations regarding diabetes and heart disease are likely accommodated. Mealtimes often become the most important event of the day.

Health Care -
A nurse likely oversees the health care needs of the residents. A partnership between the nurse, the resident and his or her physician will form the crucial triangle of care.

Housekeeping -
In assisted living, housekeeping includes dozens of small, very important tasks that lead to an easier and safer life for older adults.

Transportation -
At Skaalen assisted living community transportation is available to doctors appointments, shopping, recreation and even visiting friends.

Family Roles Restored -
A priceless value of assisted living communities is that they allow us to advocate for our parents while letting the trained staff do the professional work it takes to improve their lives.
